Explanation:

Part A

In mitosis (somatic cell division), the daughter cells have the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. Human somatic cells have 46 chromosomes, so mitosis (for eukaryotic cells) results in daughter cells with 46 chromosomes. Option C is 46 chromosomes, which fits the "B" (mitosis chromosome number) in the chart. Option A is unclear, B is 23 (meiosis result), D is incorrect.

Mitosis is for growth, repair, etc., and produces daughter cells identical to the parent (same chromosome number). Option D (likely stating "In order to maintain the correct number of chromosomes in daughter cells, mitosis replicates and divides chromosomes equally") would be correct. Other options: A is wrong (mitosis doesn't triple), B is wrong (deletion not essential), C is meiosis (sperm/eggs), not mitosis.

Answer:

C. 46 chromosomes

Part B (Assuming the correct option relates to mitosis maintaining chromosome number)
